Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Over the years the hop has grown but one thing has always stayed the same . . . amazing crafting projects that feature your favorite characters from Disney and Pixar movies.

For 2016 we are going to attempt to have a hop every other month for the entire year . . . February, April, June, August, October and December.

Tinkerbell Fairy Light

My little niece, like many girls her age, is obsessed with few things in life, the first, Frozen, and the other, Tinkerbell. Well, she has been scared of the dark lately so I decided to help her out with this little night light.

Supplies Needed:

Mason Jar
Mod Podge
Epson Salts
Battery Operated Tea Light
Tinkerbell Sticker (I created my own with Cricut)
Foam Adhesive
Assorted embellishments for top

Step 1: Coat mason jar with a thin layer of Epson Salts. You can tint your Epson Salts with a bit of food coloring if you like...I used a bit of red to make pink. For extra hold, you can spray a bit of poly sealer over the Epson salts.

Step 2: Create Tinkerbell sticker image. I used the Print & Cut feature on my Cricut machine to create the sticker, but if you have a favorite sticker, feel free to use it.

Step 3: Attach Tinkerbell sticker to tea light using foam adhesive.

Step 4: Embellish Jar. I used some small flowers and a bead spray to decorate the top of my mason jar, but feel free to use whatever you have handy.

Super quick and easy. Definitely something you can make in an evening. I think my niece and her friends may even choose to make them as a craft for her upcoming birthday party.

Of course the light had to come with a card. And what is more fun than a shaker card.

Tinkerbell Shaker Card

Supplies Needed:

Card Blank (I used a chalkboard card from Core'dinations)
Patterned Papers
Sizzix Die
Foam Tape
Clear Acrylic
Sequins and Small Beads
Embellishments

Step 1: Cut hole in center of cardstock to create window for shaker. I love these thinlet dies from Sizzix when used with the magnetic plate. This combination allows me to place my window exactly where I want.

Step 2: Add acrylic to the inside of the window and surround window with foam tape. You want to make sure and not have any holes that your sequins can fall out. Looking for acrylic? Try old packaging.

Step 3: Fill with window with sequins and small beads.

Step 4: Attach to cardstock base.

Step 5: Embellish front of the card as desired.
